Experienced (20 years) & qualified (level 4), residential & home carer/ Health Care Assistant
|
I am a conscientious, caring, & reliable carer, I take pride in providing person-centred cares whilst at the same time promoting & maintaining clients well-being & independence. I have worked in residential care homes & in clients own homes providing both live-in & live- out care, privately & through several care agencies. My studies over the years are extensive, & have recently done a Hospice training course in New Zealand. I live both in NZ & the UK, visiting the latter for 6 months every year to be closer to my aging mother and family. In the past in the UK I’ve worked as a live in carer, while in NZ I work privately as a carer/housekeeper/ companion as well as providing casual relief at one of the rest homes town when they require a senior medication HCA.
I find I have plenty of free time when I’m in the UK, I really do miss working when I’m over here, not only to keep my skills active but to make a difference to someone & give me a purpose.
Although I am retirement age, I don’t see this as an obstacle. I am very fit & healthy. Ideally looking for occasional work & particularly end-of-life care.
